If they make the natty and compete he's probably OK yea, with more pressure next yr.
The "fire Harbaugh" talk pre 2021 was always stupid. Even if he never broke through like the last 3 yrs, 8-4 and 10-2 seasons losing to OSU were a lot better than what came before him.
There's a difference between Day and Harbaugh
Prior to Harbaugh we were whipping them under Meyer. Harbaugh steadily improved the team after his arrival and the last step was getting over the hump of beating us. Which he did eventually.
Day walked into a program that had the dominance in the rivalry. A 2-2 record would be annoying but understandable. 0-4?
He has to win the natty. If he doesn't then what's the point? No natty, no Big 10 championship, and no win against those b*stards?
